About this listen

Laurie Holcombe is out of a job, out of luck, and out of time. When a prestigious law firm hires her as an assistant to one of its senior partners, it feels like she might finally get back on her feet. All she has to do is put up with the whims of her infuriatingly icy boss, Diana. How hard could that be?

Diana Parker is Atlanta's top lawyer and isn't afraid to let everyone know it. She's driven, ruthless, demanding, and stuck in a failing marriage. Too bad she can't run her personal life as well as she runs her ordered office.

When a young assistant shows up with bright blue eyes, a cute Southern accent, and a streak of pink hair, Diana's sure she's all wrong for the job. And yet something seems to be pulling her and Laurie Holcombe together, drawing them into a secret, thrilling dance that's far too dangerous for a boss and employee.

Can they make rules for this powerful attraction, a way to keep each other at arm's length? But how do you resist the irresistible?

Contains mature themes.

Laugh out loud moments and I really love the character development. Narrator really makes the characters come alive and makes a meal of the hilariously funny moments. Definitely one of my new favourite books.

A perfect pairing of story and narrator

Ok, this one had me up all night. I ate it up. If you're into lots of spicy scenes with a bit of power play, this one will do it for you. Narration is on point, very sexy.

This book has absolutely everything. Definitely NSFW which normally isn’t my thing but this book had me desperately watching to listen anytime i could

Absolutely loved it!

Great story. Good and relatable characters, and empowered women who stand up for themselves and what they want. Narration on point.
I wasn’t expecting it to be so frequently steamy. Could’ve used a disclaimer, or maybe I should’ve read the reviews.

Hotter than expected

The narrator did an excellent job! Very entertaining story with good commentary on sexism in the workplace and internalised homophobia.

Hot!

I love this book, it’s pure perfection. I would never have read it if I had known it was a coming out story ,as I normally find this arch boring, but this book it just so well done!

Perfect

Clearly drawn characters. Hot, hot storyline. Laurie Holcombe is such a likeable person whose life has dealt her more than her share of hard knocks. Diana Palmer, to all outward appearances, has everything. At least she thought she did. Until she met Laurie…

Is it hot in here or is it just me?
